That's right, the most important thing is talent, not nationality. What gets me, is MW's phrase that he's OK because he's German-Irish, like Tom. As if Tom's only qualification was his descent! He was brought up in Sicilian family, knew their ways, worked 10 years with Vito before becoming his Consigliere, Vito himself once said "I made you a Sicilian", and STILL Tom didn't "Do pretty well in this world", he had many problems because of his non-Sicilian roots. And still he was no war-time Consigliere... :rolleyes:
